so no seismic shift higher. but the real key thing here i think is that when you're looking at the levels, rates that are negative in real terms by about minus 90 basis points, do we get a negative outcome or not? from where i sit, i think that you are going to see one of the boones that we have typically seen in other recoveries, construction jobs. it's been positively heroic that we've been able to create the sort of jobs that we have without construction, without finance, and no jobs in government. you'll get a turn in jobs in the construction center. in terms of housing investment, in terms of gdp, you won't get a big boon in housing investment, but it will add instead of detract to growth. so the way i look at the ten year rate, the fed wants higher inflation, they'll get it. we're not going to have a negative outcome. we're not going to have a great outcome, but we'll be around 2%, possibly higher towards the end of next year. and from where i sit, a ten year rate of 1.6%, i wouldn't want it p. >> okay. er
